From the reviews

We had our wedding reception here and can't thank Hristo, Laura and the team enough for their help, professionalism and enthusiasm in a day that will be special for the rest of our lives. They were very brilliantly responsive and proactive through the entire process, which was over a year in total.

★★★★★ — Felix, Jul 2025

Love this place! The people are wonderful and the launch driver is always helpful. The bar with a view of the harbor is one of my favorite places.

Getting married at Boothbay Harbor Yacht Club

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
